IBM has a significant presence in the Pacific Northwest, and if your work brings you to Seattle for client meetings, cloud infrastructure projects, or consulting engagements, you are probably staying multiple nights on a regular basis. Corporate code 13717 takes about 15% off rack rate at the Hyatt Regency Seattle, and those savings compound fast when you are booking weekly trips. Pair it with World of Hyatt points earning and you are effectively getting a fourth night's worth of value back on every three nights you stay.
The Property
The Hyatt Regency Seattle sits at 808 Howell St, right in the middle of downtown between the Washington State Convention Center and the retail core along Pine Street. It is a 17 minute drive from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, roughly 23 kilometers with typical traffic, though light rail from the airport to Westlake Station puts you a short walk away. The surrounding blocks are packed with restaurants, coffee shops, and office towers, making it one of the most walkable business hotel locations in the city.
Rooms at the Hyatt Regency Seattle are designed in the modern Regency style, with standard kings and doubles running around 300 to 350 square feet. Each room has a large work desk, ergonomic chair, and reliable Wi-Fi, which is complimentary for World of Hyatt members. Higher floor rooms on the south side offer views of Mount Rainier on clear days, worth requesting when you book.
The hotel has a full fitness center open 24 hours, which is well equipped compared to most downtown Seattle options. On-site dining includes Andare Kitchen and Bar, serving Italian-influenced dishes that are solid for a business dinner without leaving the building. There is no pool, which is standard for downtown Seattle Regency properties, but the meeting and event space is extensive if you are hosting colleagues.
The Washington State Convention Center is literally next door, and the Amazon headquarters campus in South Lake Union is a 10 minute walk or quick rideshare north. Pike Place Market is about a 15 minute walk downhill, and the Westlake Center light rail and monorail station is two blocks away for getting to Seattle Center or the airport. For dinner, you have easy walking access to places like The Butcher's Table, Japonessa, and a dozen solid spots along 1st and 2nd Avenue.
Your Savings Breakdown
| Rate Tier | Rack Rate | Corporate Rate | Points Earned | Point Value | Net Cost | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $170 | $145 | 725 pts | $12.32 | $132.68 | $37.32 |
| Superior | $280 | $238 | 1,190 pts | $20.23 | $217.77 | $62.23 |
| Premium | $450 | $383 | 1,915 pts | $32.55 | $350.44 | $99.56 |
On a typical midweek night, the Hyatt Regency Seattle might list at $280, but entering IBM's corporate code 13717 pulls that down to around $238. You will earn 1,190 World of Hyatt points on that stay, which are worth roughly $20.23 at 1.7 cents per point. That brings your real net cost to about $217.77, meaning you are saving $62.23 compared to the traveler who just books the standard rate without thinking twice.
How to Book with Code 13717
- Go to worldofhyatt.com and log into your World of Hyatt account, or create one for free if you have not yet.
- Enter Seattle, WA as your destination along with your check-in and check-out dates.
- Expand the Special Rates section and look for the Corporate or Discount Code field.
- Enter 13717 in the corporate code field and search for rates.
- Confirm the corporate rate shows a lower price than the standard rate, select your room, and complete the booking.
Stack Your Savings
If you have World of Hyatt Discoverist status or higher, your elite benefits apply on top of the corporate rate. That means late checkout when available, room upgrades at Explorist and Globalist tiers, and bonus points earning. Globalist members get suite upgrades, free parking, and waived resort fees, though resort fees are not an issue at this downtown property. Even Discoverist status, which you get automatically with the World of Hyatt credit card, adds 10% bonus points to every stay.
The World of Hyatt Credit Card from Chase earns 4 points per dollar spent at Hyatt properties, on top of the 5 base points per dollar you earn as a member, for a total of 9 points per dollar. On a $238 night, that is 2,142 points worth about $36.41, which dramatically improves your net cost. The Chase Sapphire Reserve also earns 3x Ultimate Rewards points on travel, and those transfer 1:1 to Hyatt, so if you do not want the Hyatt card specifically, that is a strong alternative.
Book directly through Hyatt's site rather than third-party platforms to ensure your corporate rate, points earning, and elite benefits all apply correctly. Watch for World of Hyatt bonus point promotions, which typically run quarterly and offer double or triple points on stays during the promotion window. If your Seattle trips are flexible, midweek rates with the corporate code tend to be lowest Tuesday through Thursday, while weekend rates can actually spike during peak tourist season from June through September.
Bottom Line: IBM employees traveling to Seattle should expect to save between $37 and $100 per night at the Hyatt Regency Seattle using corporate code 13717, depending on the season and room type. The location is hard to beat for business travel, with the convention center next door, Amazon and major tech offices within walking distance, and light rail access to the airport. Stack the corporate rate with World of Hyatt membership and the right credit card, and a regular Seattle travel schedule starts generating real returns in points and savings.
